LA is a wonderland for a typegeek. no joke. almost everywhere you look, there is some prime example of amazing typography and/or signage. be it manufactured, hand drawn, whatever. it's a magical thing really.
it took me 31 years to finally get to there. and sadly, the 2 times that i've been, it's been for business. so i haven't had the chance to really dig deeper and explore the areas that i'd like to and to take a minute to take a great pic. most of my shots here, and from the san antonio post as well, are taken from a car.
it was a really amazing treat for me to see where some of the greatness and influence on a generation of designers and typographers had their roots... the cal arts crowd, emigre... god, emigre had such an influence on me as a designer and just on how i see and think about the space around me.
i could write volumes here, on the subject of influences, and how my thought process has grown, etc., but that's for another blog i think.
so what i'm getting at about LA is that i guess i'll just have to take a minute to get there one day and really take the time to get some great shots and truly see everything that i can of so much of this spectacular stuff.
